Home-away-from-home Dog Boarding
Welcome to The Canine Cottage! If you're looking for a boarding experience where your dog will be treated like family, you've come to the right place :) I've been a dog owner for more than 20 years and have cared for dogs through every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing specialized care. Over the years, I've also served as a foster home for dog rescue organizations, providing temporary housing for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Dogs have always been an important part of our family's life. As a homeschooling, stay-at-home mom of five children (ages 4–14), our home is filled with activity, companionship, and plenty of people who genuinely love spending time with dogs. We are home throughout the day, allowing us to provide the attention, supervision, and interaction many dogs don't receive in traditional boarding environments. At The Canine Cottage, we offer a premium home-away-from-home boarding experience. Rather than spending most of the day in a kennel, your dog will enjoy being part of our daily family life. They'll have plenty of opportunities for play, affection, enrichment, outdoor time, and relaxation. Our goal is to make your dog's stay feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you're away. As dog owners ourselves, we understand how difficult it can be to leave a beloved pet behind. That's why we've created the kind of boarding experience we always look for when we travel—one where dogs are welcomed into a loving home, receive individualized attention, and are treated as family members. We can't wait to meet you and your furry family member!

Schedule
Your Dog Will Feel Like Part of the Family! As a stay-at-home mom, with a husband who works from home and children who are homeschooled, someone is almost always home. That means your dog won't spend hours alone or confined to a kennel. Instead, they'll enjoy plenty of companionship, attention, and time as part of our daily family life. Our guests enjoy two daily walks, supervised playtime, and the freedom to move between our home and secure backyard throughout the day. We believe dogs are happiest when they're treated like family, and that's exactly the experience we strive to provide.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
A Safe, Comfortable Home Designed for Dogs Our home sits on one-third of an acre and features a spacious backyard with plenty of room to run, play, and explore. The yard is fully enclosed with an 8-foot board-on-board privacy fence and an auto-closing gate, providing a secure environment for every guest. Your dog's safety is our highest priority. Upon arrival, each boarding guest is fitted with an Apple AirTag attached to their collar as an added layer of security and peace of mind. Inside, dogs are treated like family. They have the freedom to relax and roam throughout the downstairs of our home rather than spending their day in a kennel. Crates are used only for sleeping, quiet time, or if your dog is already crate-trained and finds comfort in one. Overnight, they rest in a quiet room located just steps from our primary bedroom, so they're never far from us. Every dog is unique, and we love getting to know each guest's routine. Whether it's mealtime preferences, favorite walking pace, play style, bedtime habits, or special quirks, we'll do our best to recreate the comforts of home so your dog feels safe, relaxed, and loved throughout their stay.
